An ex-copper told me that in his county a copper would leave his police hat in the back of the car, even when in civvies – the unwritten “LAW” was they would be exempt from a ticket if caught speeding or for any other ‘minor’ motoring offense.
It worked, too! (most times). Then came the CCTV, etc.
Same goes for Firemen. My neighbor got pulled over by 5 cop cars after he failed to see a row of cones on the A23 in Streatham one night & mowed them down in the pissing rain, narrowly avoiding cops flashing torches at him. They finally caught him outside his girlfriends place. He was so drunk that when he shut the drivers door he took the end of his thumb off.
Then one of the cops saw the fireman hat on the parcel shelf & after ascertaining he wasn’t going to drive anywhere else that night they let him off with warning & drove off. GF had to take him to hospital to get his thumb stitched up.
